This Privacy Policy applies to the use of OffsiteBuilt (“OffsiteBuilt™ Homes” or the “Site”) by consumers, sales professionals, and visitors. Sales representatives, dealers, builders, general contractors, lenders, realtors, and other sales and service professionals are referred to herein as “Professionals”. Professionals, consumers and visitors are individually and collectively referred to herein as “you”. OffsiteBuilt™ Homes, its affiliates and marketing allies are referred to herein as "we", "us" and "our".

Via our Site we provide you with information, resources, tools, products, and services, specific to prefabricated homes and buildings, and related markets, and with information about participating professionals, advertisers, and our services. We use information that we collect from you to improve your experience in using the Site and our services, to aid in communications among OffsiteBuilt™ Homes, professionals, advertisers and you, and to notify you of products, services and information that we think may be of interest to you.

What information is collected from me?

Information You Give Us: The kinds of information we collect from you will vary, depending on how you use the Site and what information you may choose to provide. It's possible to browse most sections of the Site without submitting any personally-identifiable information (“Personal Information”) at all. However, if you choose to take advantage of some of our services, or to access certain Site tools or Site functionality, you may be asked to provide Personal Information such as a user name and password, your full name, email address, phone number, address, and, for certain financial products or services, your financial  and banking information, and for certain e-commerce transactions your credit card information. You can choose not to provide us with certain Personal Information, but then you may not be able to fully take advantage of certain features of our Site and we may not be able to provide you with certain requested information, or services.

Automatic Collection of Information: Like many Web sites on the Internet, we automatically track certain information about you as you visit and use our Site to help us better understand how the Site is being used and how we can enhance your overall experience and improve the information, Site functionality, products and services that we (and our advertisers and marketing allies) provide to you. This information may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, the URLs and Site pages you’ve visited, the number of times you visit each Site page, what downloads and/or search queries you have made, how long you spent on particular sections of Site, and your browser type. This automatically-gathered data includes information provided through the use of "cookies".

As you visit the Site, be aware that third parties may at times be able to gather information from and about you. For example, third party advertiser servers, companies that place advertisements on the Site, and other companies offering products or services through the Site may use cookies to collect, store and use information about you and may collect information that you submit to them. OffsiteBuilt™ Homes' advertisers, marketing allies, service providers and other entities that have links on the Site may also collect information about you when you visit their websites or otherwise communicate with them. Although we encourage such third parties to adopt and follow their own consumer privacy policies, we are not responsible for their collection and use of user information. The information practices of websites linked to the Site are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

How is my information used and shared?

The use of your information depends on the context in which it is collected. The relationships to the Site features of the Sites are shown below. We may share the Personal Information we collect from you only with your consent or under the following circumstances:

• OffsiteBuilt™ Homes affiliates. We work closely with our affiliates with whom we may share Personal Information. In addition, we may share Personal Information with our service providers.
• Service Providers. We may use other companies and individuals to perform supporting functions for the various tools, functionality, products and services offered through our Site on our behalf. These service providers will not be permitted to use the information collected from you for any other purpose than to perform supporting functions and/or to offer additional services, promotions or offers to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique “cookie” on your browser.
• Protection of rights. We will release Personal Information if we believe that such action is appropriate to: (a) comply with legal process, (b) enforce the Terms of Use for the Site, or (c) identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to us or to a third party, or to otherwise protect the rights, property or personal safety of OffsiteBuilt™ Homes, its employees, other website users, or others.
• Additional Functionality. We may link information collected from you through various means, including information collected automatically and through the use of cookies, or other Personal Information you provide to help us (or our service providers and affiliates) offer content, advertisements, products and services that we believe will be of interest to you, pre-populate certain data-fields (to assist in your registration or use of the tools and services available on the Site). In addition, we may share this information, in aggregate form, with our advertisers and service providers so they can present advertisements more effectively.
• Information from third parties. If you have requested information from third parties, we may use the Personal Information to present you with products and services that we believe will be of interest to you, but we will not disclose this type of information, other than your contact information (information that provides a means of contacting you), to any such third party.
• Anonymous Data. In all other circumstances, OffsiteBuilt™ Homes may use certain anonymous data automatically gathered by our servers so that we can understand how to make the Site more convenient and useful to our audience. In addition, we may share this information, in aggregate form, with our advertisers, service providers, listing providers, affiliates and/or marketing allies, so they can present advertisements and content more effectively. We may also use aggregate information to share information with the public regarding products, services, content or tools that may be of interest to them.

Information from Cookies: Cookies are small files that we send to and store on your computer so that we can recognize it as a unique machine the next time you visit the Site. Our cookies are used for three purposes: (a) to keep track of your information for your own convenience; (b) to help us optimize your online experience by altering our content depending on your particular needs or browsing patterns, and to provide you with information products and services that we believe will be of interest to you; and (c) to help us understand the size of our audience and their traffic patterns within the Site. You are always free to decline any cookies we use if your browser permits. Some of our advertisers and third-party service providers may also utilize their own cookies. Also, companies offering products or services through a OffsiteBuilt™ Homes may use their own cookies. In addition, we and our service providers sometimes use "clear GIFs" in connection with cookies and other website functions. Clear GIFs perform administrative functions without detracting from your online experience. They may be used to perform statistical and administrative tasks including measuring site and page traffic, verifying advertising avenues and positioning images on the web. Clear GIFs do not collect Personal Information.

Registration Information: The Personal Information you provide when you become a registered user or customer of the Site is used primarily to help us customize your online experience, increase the convenience of accessing new tools, products and services, and, if applicable, provide you with the products and/or services you purchase. Your email address serves as a unique identifier in our record system, and it is used together with your password to prevent unauthorized access to any information you choose to store on the Site. The data you give us about your personal preferences and demographics (e.g., your age, zipcode, land ownership or the like) may be used to help us offer you content, advertisements, products, and services which we believe will be of interest to you. In addition, we may share this information, in aggregate form, with our advertisers so that they can present advertisements more effectively. If you forget your password for any registered area of the Site, you can use our automated password recovery system, which can be accessed by clicking on the "Forgot Password?" link on the sign-in page.

• Unless you specify that you'd prefer not to hear from us, we may also use the email address, which you provided to us at the time of registration, to contact you for promotional or other purposes. You may have these communications terminated at any time by opting out through your member profile. If you indicate that you're interested in hearing from other companies, we may also share your contact information with such companies for that purpose. We may have to contact you from time to time to inform you of changes to the Site, your account status, a change in this Privacy Policy or for other administrative purposes. These administrative emails will not contain any advertisements.
• Professionals, please note that we reserve the right to use your contact information to provide you with information about products or services that may be of interest to you. Information provided to us is not shared with third parties. We also may offer a newsletter to keep you abreast of the products and services on the Site or of other professional products and services. Information such as your personal financial information will not be shared with third parties except to complete a transaction or as a disclosure that is required pursuant to applicable law. Additionally, information provided by you for the purposes of offering your products and services to others via the Site will be shared with others, including consumers accessing the Site. To the extent that such information is necessary to offer such products and services, it will be posted on the Site. This may include, without limitation, your full name, email address, license number, state of license, address, phone and fax number, graphic images and any other data intended to help consumers identify or contact you and your products and services.

Tools: The Site allows you to use many helpful tools, such as home availability research tools, financial calculators, and others, many of which will not ask you to disclose any Personal Information. These tools are for your benefit, and the information you submit when you use them is not disclosed to anyone (except, perhaps, to the service provider assisting in our provision of that tool), nor is it used for any purpose other than to provide you with the service you're seeking. However there are several online tools where we may ask your permission to use the Personal Information in order to offer services, products or information that we believe may be of use to you or to merge such Personal Information into your profile registration. When using such tools optioning-out of providing such information may restrict or disable the functionality of the tool.

User-Requested Services: You may choose to request products or services of a more substantial or personal nature when using the Site. For example, you may request our help in locating a product, a sales representative, a dealer, builder, a contractor, apply for a loan, store your preferences for convent use at the Site, or make an online purchase. The information you provide when seeking these services may be used in the following ways:

• For products and services provided by the Site, the information you submit is used by us to provide the product or service you've requested. We may also share this information with subcontractors, but only to the extent necessary to fulfill your request or to facilitate your use of their services. Some tools may require you to submit information about yourself. We use your information for the purposes of responding to your request and providing services to you. If the service you request requires submission of financial information, such as a credit card number for an online purchase, rest assured that this financial information is used only for processing your payment, and, with respect to consumers, is not retained after completion of your order. In respect to Professionals, we store information about your account.
   
  
• For products and services offered to you jointly by us and a third party, your personal and financial information may be shared with or independently gathered by the third party. In these situations, OffsiteBuilt™ Homes will only use your Personal Information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, but the third party may use the information in different ways. You can tell when a product or service is offered by a third party, because a page of the Sites will be "co-branded" and will display the third party's logo and/or name along with our own, or you will be linked to the third party's site to complete the transaction. Please be aware that each company we do business with has its own policies regarding the use and protection of your information that may differ from those outlined in this Privacy Policy.
   
  
• The Consumers may be requested to provide Personal and financial information (but not credit card information) when requesting information about the products and services offered by the Professionals. In these situations, OffsiteBuilt™ Homes will only use Personal Information to the extent necessary to determine which participating Professional(s) may be able to serve consumer's need, but the Professionals may use the information in different ways. Consumer information passed to Professionals never contains any billing or credit card information and the Professionals are required to use this information solely in respect of the products and/or services requested, and not for any other purpose or use. 
• From time to time, we may wish to use Personal Information you provide when requesting a product or service for purposes beyond those listed above. If this is the case, you will be notified of the additional use prior to your submitting the Personal Information, and you'll be given a chance to opt-out of that use or to not complete the request for the particular product or service.

Solicited Information: You may occasionally see features of the Sites that ask you to provide us with Personal Information. When you choose to respond to these requests, the Personal Information you offer may be used for several purposes. These include the uses set out in the registration section above. They also include providing information to third parties as necessary for service fulfillment and other aspects of any contest, sweepstakes, game or other promotion. If we are going to use your Personal Information for any other purpose, we will notify you of that purpose and give you a chance to opt-out before responding to our survey or participating in our contest, sweepstakes, game or other promotion. Any contest, sweepstakes, game or other promotion that is accessible through the Site is governed by specific rules. By entering any such contest, sweepstakes, game or other promotion, you will become subject to those rules.

Children’s Privacy: Our Site is general audience Web sites targeted to the prefabricated homes and buildings, and it’s markets, and our Site (nor any portion thereof) is directed to children under the age of 13. We do not collect Personal Information from any person we know is a child under the age of 13. If we become aware that Personal Information regarding an individual under the age of 13 has been stored, we will delete it from our records.

User-Initiated Communication: From time to time, portions of the Sites may enable you to send email to us or to third parties and to participate in public bulletin boards and discussion groups (hosted by our service providers). All postings to public bulletin boards and discussion groups become our property. Whenever you choose to initiate these kinds of communication with us, or anyone else, you may expect to be contacted in return. Also, remember that our bulletin boards and discussion groups are open to the public, and therefore, your postings can be seen by anyone and are not protected by us or any other entity. Please use your own discretion when deciding what to post publicly and whom to contact. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to edit or delete inappropriate postings from our bulletin boards and discussion groups; provided, however, the reservation of this right shall not, under any circumstances, obligate us to conduct such editing or deletions.

Referrals: If you participate in any referral service we may offer:

• Consumers: we will use the information you submit to determine which of our participating professional(s) may be able to serve your needs. We may then forward your name, contact information and other information contained on our form to the selected professional(s), who may then contact you using that information. Any information you provide also may be used by us in accordance with the uses set out in the registration section, above. We may store these communications to Professionals, but solely for the purpose of assisting the professional in tracking their communications.
• Professionals: you may receive information from consumers seeking your products or services. This data may include, without limitation, the full name and other contact information of consumers, as well as financial and other information about the consumer. We require that you treat data received from OffsiteBuilt™ Homes' consumers as if it was still on the Site and in accord with this Privacy Policy. You may only use the information sent to you for the purposes of providing products and/or services to the consumer. We require that you otherwise not share, use or transmit or reveal this information to any third party without the consent of the consumer. The failure to abide by these requirements may result in cancellation of your account with OffsiteBuilt™ Homes.

Automatically Gathered Data: The information gathered automatically by our system – such as your computer's IP address, the kind of browser you're using, and a record of your navigation (including, without limitation, your search queries) through our site, may be used by OffsiteBuilt™ Homes so we can make our Site convenient and useful to our audience, and to provide additional functionality. This information may also be shared among our affiliates, service providers and listing providers, to be used for similar purposes. In addition, we may share this information, in aggregate form, with our current and potential marketing allies and advertisers so they can know how to present their advertisements more effectively. When such data is aggregated, all Personal Information is eliminated.

What choices do I have regarding the use of my information?

Reading this Privacy Policy should help you understand how any information you share with us might be used. If you feel concerned about any of these uses, you might elect not to participate in certain services, features or products that we offer. We will not collect Personal Information about you without your knowledge, so the decision whether or not to share this information is completely up to you.

How do I "opt-out"?

You have the ability to terminate email correspondence from us at any time. You may be given the chance to opt-out of direct mailings when you disclose your email address to us. Further, all of our email correspondence contains an “Unsubscribe” link at the conclusion of the message. To opt-out, simply click the link or send an email to the “Unsubscribe” URL listed in the email, and you will be opted-out of future messages from that particular email service.

If you feel concerned about the cookies that are sent between our computers and yours, you may, through your Web browser, either choose to reject them automatically, or have your computer prompt you before accepting them. Generally, this is done by selecting the appropriate cookies setting on your Web browser (usually found in "Internet Options" or "Preferences"). Please note, however, that some of our features and services depend on the use of cookies. Therefore, you will be unable to take advantage of those features and services if you choose not to accept certain cookies.

Certain content, products, services, and tools available on the Site are dependent upon the collection and use of non-personally identifiable information and may not include an opt-out opportunity unless Personal Information is directly used for such content, product, service or functionality.

How can I access and change my information?

To view, edit or delete the Personal Information you submitted during registration, the purchase of a product or service, or elsewhere as described above:

• Consumers: you may edit your information by logging into the Site and modifying the "My Profile" area of the Site.

• Professionals: you may edit your information by logging into the Site and modifying the “My Profile” area of the Site or by contacting OffsiteBuilt administration by email. By requesting to make such changes, you expressly authorize us to access your data for the purpose of completing your requested edits, modifications and/or deletions.
  

How is my information protected?

Whenever Personal Information about you is stored on our computers, that information is password-protected from unauthorized access or use. In addition, this information is kept on servers that are located behind a firewall.

In addition, we require password authentication from any third parties you've authorized to receive this information. Finally, your information is stored on secure, designated servers and access is limited to individuals charged with using such information only in connection with processing your orders for products and services purchased; provided, however, that those orders processed by our partners, marketing allies and service providers that provide the service or product requested may store such information on their servers which are governed by such third party’s privacy policy.

Unfortunately no data transmission over the Internet or the storage of information on servers can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and while we strive to protect your personal information as described, we cannot guarantee or warrant its absolute security.

Scope of This Privacy Policy: Outside Links

This Privacy Policy only applies to the Site. The Site contains links to sites operated and maintained by third parties over which we have no control. Please be aware that these sites may collect information about you, and operate according to their own privacy practices that may differ from this Privacy Policy.

Certain expressly-identified portions of this Privacy Policy apply only to consumers or Professionals.
